The cover and the blurb both scream potential, but I've only read one or two positive reviews. <br /><br />I can usually get over not connecting to a character, but worldbuilding issues almost always drive me insane.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-59751924284485516162014-03-28T00:49:18.995-05:002014-03-28T00:49:18.995-05:00haha I swear, I'm the only person who seems to...haha I swear, I'm the only person who seems to have liked this book! Every other review I've seen has rated the book 2 stars or less (and quite a few DNFs too...)<br />I guess I can see where you guys are coming from, but I suppose I was just able to ignore some of those flaws that you've brought up- e.g. I thought the world building was really well done and I quite liked Ava as a character, despite not understanding her choices :PNarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378806643397167349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-20475900599771989962014-03-28T00:16:37.278-05:002014-03-28T00:16:37.278-05:00Bummer!

Let’s just say that you made the right choice… ;)<br /><br />Ava was definitely a hard-to-like main character, so I completely see where you're coming from in that sense! <br /><br />And I don't think you're missing anything! A lot of my other blogging friends have felt the same way, so I don't think you're alone! Thanks for sharing your opinion though! Hopefully your next read is better! <3<br /><br />~ Zoe @ <a href="http://www.zoereads.org" rel="nofollow">The Infinite To-Read Shelf</a> Zoe N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02112871793447447489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-87553420312936164762014-03-27T09:11:03.355-05:002014-03-27T09:11:03.355-05:00This is pretty much the general consensus for this...This is pretty much the general consensus for this novel, so yeah, pass.

I hate when they can't let the merits of a book stand on their own and have to start making comparisons to other books, but I guess in this case it was necessary to garner some interest. But they didn't trick me! :P Sorry this one was such a disappointment...but it appears you're one of many who felt that way.starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-41396241933515083832014-03-27T06:06:48.767-05:002014-03-27T06:06:48.767-05:00Same here Cait!

I don't think I'm going to pick it up. And I'm sooo sad because the cover...*weeps for the gorgeous cover* And it's long. Like, heck, 500+ pages usually kills me even if the book is awesome. So yeah, it'll be a skip from me.CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.com
